Usually Tyne and Wear is placed high up in surveys to tell us how friendly we are or that we eat more Greggs than anywhere else in the country (because there are more outlets, obviously).
However, a new survey has revealed that while we have a number of beautiful places on our doorstep where we can go and blow away the cobwebs, we actually live in the fourth most stressed region in the UK. According to Forbes Advisor, 79% of British adults feel stressed at least once a month.
Analysing internet searches county by county to come up with a picture of where has the most and least stressed people, researchers found that only Bristol, Merseyside and West Midlands residents searched for things like 'how to reduce stress' and 'stress relief' more than we do. According to those searches, the biggest source of stress is work-related (which won't be a surprise to many).
